From Your Executive Director
Jan VanceDon't be surprised if over the next couple of months one of our Ambassador's comes knocking at your door... they are on a mission. The mission -- to visit every one of our Members to check-in with you, let you know about all the changes we are making, remind you of the benefits membership in the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce provides, and to see what WE can do to help you expand your business.
 
As the economy continues to slowly recover, we are all looking at the bottom line, evaluating what is working for us, and what is not. Now, more than ever, it is important to get your name out there and make connections. Your membership in the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce provides the pathway for you to accomplish this through a variety of networking and advertising opportunities, referral services, and community involvement. By aligning yourself with the Chamber you highlight your community partnership, increase your visibility, and showcase your services and products.
 
So when an Edmonds Chamber Ambassador comes knocking... welcome them in, ask them questions, and let them show you the VALUE of your Chamber Membership!

Plan Now for the Edmonds Chamber 4th of July
As joyful as the smile on a child's face as they walk in the Children's parade; as satisfying as the person who finishes last in the 5k but is so proud to have finished; as patriotic as the American Flag as it passes by the onlookers on Main Street; and as exciting as every face turned up to an amazing fireworks display; the Edmonds 4th of July -- celebrating its 103rd year!
 
Committee chair for this Edmonds Chamber event, Ron Clyborne, gathered his committee back together in March to start work on this year's event. First on the agenda is procuring sponsorship.
 
With our new Edmonds Chamber Foundation it is even easier than ever to position your product or brand with this well attended community celebration, said Clyborne. New this year, we have added naming right opportunities for the various components that added together make for a glorious family-friendly day.
 
To plan your 4th of July marketing now, and take your pick of sponsorship opportunities, contact Deb Anderson at 425-314-9433. For sponsorship information for all of the Chamber events please visit our website at http://www.edmondswa.com/ed%20foundation%20sponsorship.pdf.
